Once Upon A Time In Bursa

by Tradeview

Why do most retail investors lose money in the stock market? Is the stock market rigged against them? What is the best way to invest in stocks?

Behind every stock is a company which has an underlying value. Buying and owning good stocks over a sustained period of time is possibly the single best way to build wealth. Most investment advice is geared towards the US or foreign markets and do not delve into the specifics of investing in the local context of Bursa. This book reveals the unique opportunities, nuances and risk of investing in Bursa along with how retail investors can apply fundamental investing specifically to Malaysian companies. You will see the stocks through the lens of real stories and learn to appreciate the companies behind each stock.

Hann, a corporate strategist, lawyer and avid fundamental investor, shares with you his personal investment experiences that have helped him navigate Bursa. He takes you on a fulfilling journey of investment tales where you will gain insights on the simple logics of investing. You will also learn how to apply the practical MONEY equation which he hopes, may tip the balance ever so slightly in favour of ordinary retail investors.

Exceptional. A must read. Original with the author's easy to remember formula 'MONEY'

I have subscribed to his telegram group before, and I have thought he must be an old old uncle (for always pleading members to be rationale, think long term etc). It is a surprise to me when I read the author's profile.

He would have been in the field for 5 years now I think, with illustrious returns from the stock market. I hope the author can continue his good work into the foreseeable future.

An interesting read. The author uses the storytelling-approach to inculcate the values of investing. Using names of real people and talking about incidents that really happened conjures up memories of the distant past, making the anecdotes more relatable and casual, yet embedded with a purpose that underscores the story's message. Many gems here to be found, especially by a beginner investor like me. Will adopt the Money Equation formula as a guide in my investment journey.

It's written by a lawyer with success from personal investing in domestic market highly similar to 1980's US market. Its neither very deep into local businesses empires or investing. So don't expect too much. In this sense, I'm gravely disappointed.

The content is very nice, talking about different experiences the author has has in his long investing career and the importance of investing. But I feel the paragraphs are too long and amount of text is just too much for this content presented in the book.
